Twitter #smartcommunities Tweet chat last was earlier this week
It wasn’t only what we heard, but also what we didn’t hear.
Members were interested in learning, but often times not confident enough in the subject area to speak up.
Many members do not realize what they are already doing in this space
Some agencies expressed reluctance to make decisions today because of the unknown. “Should we go ahead with a programmed investment in transit infrastructure since we know everything is going to be changing soon?”
Many equated DSRC and Automated Vehicles with Smart Communities
Technology to improve communities, NOT technology for technology’s sake.
Leveraging transportation assets outside of transportation (e.g., Smart Columbus pre-natal care).
User-based focus, NOT vendor-based focus
Address Urban, Suburban, and Rural issues
Members need practical information, what decisions do I need to make right now.
